Andrade (C) vs Apollo Crews (for the WWE US Championship)
The first match of the night on RAW saw Apollo Crews get another shot at Andrade's United States Championship. Crews started strong and showed off his power and he pushed Andrade into the corner. As Crews pounded Andrade in the corner, the camera cut to Angel Garza watching backstage. Crews followed up with his patented stalling suplex to take firm control in the early stages of the match.
Andrade soon hit back with a nasty back elbow, leaving Crews stunned. Andrade went to finish things off early but Crews replied with a perfect Press Slam. He followed it up with an enzguiri that made Andrade run into Zelina Vega who was on the apron, and sent crashing to the floor subsequently on RAW.
Andrade briefly took control of the match after this. He hit a double stomp for a 2-count. We then got footage of Garza talking backstage and Crews took out Andrade while this was happening. Andrade hit back with the double knees for a near fall. Crews hit back with a standing moonsault and a standing Shooting Star Press to pin Andrade on RAW and win his first title in WWE.
